TLT hires professional directors and contracts designers and other production leadership positions from among those with professional or other significant experience. TLT is governed by a volunteer board of directors, and is managed by a small professional staff. As such, it has inherited the responsibilities and goals of all three: Governance, Promotion, Education, and Production. Today, TLT is the surviving entity of the original three. While some gaps may be found in its production history for various reasons, including the Great Depression and World War II, records show that organizational activity has never ceased since those early days in 1918. That commitment has been the hallmark of TLT’s history. While TLT’s first fully realized production was not until December of 1919, a production of George Bernard Shaw’s You Never Can Tell, the time from 1918 to 1919 was filled with classes, play reading and study. The Drama League provided oversight, governance, and promoted the two subsidiary wings. The Tacoma Chapter was comprised of the Civic Drama School and the Tacoma Little Theatre ( TLT ). Many such chapters were started across the United States. The Drama League of America sought to promote theatre and the study of theatrical literature and culture as a means of community building as well as individual enrichment. In October of 1918, a group of civic minded community members founded the Tacoma Chapter of the Drama League of America (known as the “Tacoma Drama League” or sometimes as the “Civic Drama League”). TLT has partnered with The Gritty City Sirens, Fools Play Improv, Muh Grog Zoo, and several local schools. In addition, TLT produces seven staged readings each year, three murder mysteries, several events, and a year-round education program. Tacoma Little Theatre presents seven mainstage shows each season, made up of comedies, musicals, classics, contemporary works, dramas, Shakespeare, and mysteries. Tacoma Little Theatre enriches the community through all types of quality, live theatre experiences. (All material is condensed & edited for clarity.)
